Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. This is the case of seizures after traumatic brain injury. A number of TBI patients experience seizures. They are related to brain damage itself or increased cerebral pressure. If your father's condition got worse in a short period of time, there was a mass (probably hemorrhage) expanding and pressing towards the brain and surgery is the only option if this happens: your father will need long term anti seizure treatment depending on characteristics of the seizure, and periodic follow up with clinical and imaging evaluation. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
